Natural remedies?

Just when I thought everyone was getting over their colds, my youngest sister has got both tonsillitis and an ear infection. I’m trying to look for some natural remedies to help relieve some of the symptoms rather than just filling her with painkillers, etc. Any ideas?

Uh. Tonsillitis and an ear infection require antibiotics. There is no natural remedy for a bacterial infection. Get the kid to a doctor.

@RandomForest I took her yesterday and she has antibiotics but they aren’t helping with the discomfort.

@SiB9898 Good. Then there is one for ear infections, garlic cooked in olive oil, surprisingly that works alright. I think it's the heat more than the garlic but whatever. http://dailynaturalremedies.com/7-natural-remedies-for-an-ear-infection/

@RandomForest Just obviously make sure it's cool enough. It's common sense but I feel it bears reminding.

@RandomForest I’ll look into that. Thank you 😊
